If I Were a Boy Again
假如能再回到童年
If I were a boy again,I would practice perseverance oftener,and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient.If we want light,we must conquer darkness.If I were to live my life over again,I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory.I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means,and on every possible occasion.
假如我又回到了童年，我会更常锤炼毅力，绝不因事情艰难或麻烦而放弃。欲寻光明，必先征服黑暗。倘若我能重活一次，我会更注重培养记忆力。我要千方百计、抓住每个时机增强这份能力。
It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately;but memory soon helps itself,and gives very little trouble.It only needs early cultivation to become a power.If I were a boy again,I would look on the cheerful side.Life is very much like a mirror if you smile upon it,it smiles back upon you;but if you frown and look doubtful on it,you will get a similar look in return.
起初精确记忆确实需要些功夫；但记忆力很快便能自助，鲜少再添烦扰。只需及早培养，自能成为力量。假如我又回到了童年，我会永远看向光明面。生活犹如明镜：你朝它微笑，它也会报以微笑；你若蹙眉疑视，它必还以同样的目光。
Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner,but of all that come in contact with it.“Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut from love.”If I were a boy again,I would school myself to say “No” oftener.I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect,and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.
内心的阳光不仅能温暖自己，也能温暖所有接触它的人。“拒爱者终将被爱拒之门外。”假如我又回到了童年，我要学会更常说出“不”字。我愿用长篇文字阐述幼年学会挺直脊梁、因事不当而毅然拒绝的重要性。
If I were a boy again,I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends,and indeed towards strangers as well.The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long,and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy,as if that were the sole purpose of life,I would, if I were a boy again,try still harder to make others happy.
假如我又回到了童年，我会要求自己对伙伴朋友更谦恭，对陌生人也当如是。坎坷人生路上最微小的善意，犹如冬日里始终为我们歌唱的小鸟，让冰雪的季节不再难熬。最后，假如我能重拾童年，我不会再竭力追逐个人幸福——仿佛那是人生唯一目标；我将更努力地为他人创造幸福。
